Viking Technology, founded in 1989, leads the Enterprise
storage market in hybrid storage technologies, merging solid state solutions
with DRAM technology, with solutions such as SATADIMMTM (an SSD in DIMM form
factor) and ArxCis-NVTM (a Non-Volatile DIMM, merging DRAM and Flash). With a
breadth of solutions that bridge DRAM and SSD, Viking has the ability to deliver
storage solution ranging from high-performance computing to embedded kiosks. For

Viking Technology is a technology division of
Sanmina-SCI Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM), a
leading Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider. The two companies
have established a legacy of providing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
customers with innovative technological development, industry certified
manufacturing facilities and the benefits of a global supply chain with long
standing, strategic partnerships.

In
February 2009 - Viking
Modular Solutions launched the ArxCis-NV - an SSD based backup for
RAID controller cache.
When the external logic power rail drops - internal Supercapacitors sustain
power inside the module long enough (typically 10 to 15 seconds) to save the
cache contents to an SLC SSD.

In March 2009 -
Viking Modular Solutions
launched the SATA Cube - a flash SSD which provides upto 256GB capacity in a
small 30x32mm footprint. Sustained R/W speeds are 110MB/s and 79MB/s
respectively. It's available as a BGA device or with a MicroSATA connector.

In October 2011 Vikingannounced
an extension of their non volatile module range. The
DDR3
ArxCis-NV plugs into standard
RAM sockets and provides
2GB to 8GB RAM which is backed up to SLC flash in the
event of a
power failure - while the memory power is held up by application dependent
supercap arrays.

This article will help you understand why some
SSDs which (work perfectly well in one type of application) might fail in
others... even when the changes in the operational environment appear to be
negligible.

The
DDR3 ArxCis-NV plugged into standard RAM sockets and provided from 2GB to 8GB
RAM which was backed up to SLC flash in the event of a power failure - while the
memory power was held up by an external 25F supercap pack.

Viking
said these new memory modules eliminated the need for battery backup units in
servers and the maintenance logistics associated with maintaining them.
